A MANS Body in a Hay Bale.
Carson New Appeal.


Last fall young man named Anderson
who was working on ranch in Carson
Valley, suddenly disappeared, and al
though an exhaustive search was made
for him, no trace Of his Whereabouts
could be discovered. When last seen he
was working near a baybaler. He was
first missed at the dinner table, but no
special anxiety was felt, as it was sup
posed that he had laid Gown through
sickness. His disappearance was a nine
days talk, and it was finally surmised
that he had left the country on account OF
love affair. Day before yesterday, how
ever, he turned up in Virginia City
William Mooney, the stab.em7n, pur-
chased load of alfalfa hay in bales of the
ranCher on whose place Anderson had
been missed. He went to open one of
the bales, when he found inside the body
of Anderson in good state of pre- serva,
ton. 1t is now rumored that Anderson,
who was working at the machine fell in,
and the helper about the spot we're too
basy talking politics to notice him, and
so he was tied up along with the balance
Of the hay. He evidently died of suffoca-
ton, and made no sign. Mr.. Mooney has
carefully examined the rest of the hay,
but has found nc more bodies. The re
mains were given & Christian burial, and
the same style of hay is now selling for
So ton.

There is a growing real estate specula-

is not an undue expansion of credits re-

ton in that direction is certainly war
ranted.
In the grain markets speculation is
spasmodic. Wheat has advanced and
corn and oats changed little. Hogs and

How to Find q Drowned Body
Hawkinsvl.Ie (Ga.) Dispatch.

We learn that two negroes tied thet
clothing to the backs of their necks anC
attempted to swim the river near Able
vile, about two weeks since. One oil
them gained the opposite bank in safety,
bus the other drowned. TAe plan fol-
recovering the dead body was rather q
novel one. An old darky took bundle
of fodder and placed it in the river where
the drowning negro first sank, when it
f0ated down about fifty yards and sud-
denly stopped and commenced to whirl
slowly round and round. Here the old
negro dived down and secured the body.
He claims to have recovered four or five
other lost bodies by this means in his ex-
perience, and declares it to be an infalli-
bic guide.
